5 Things to Do: December 5-7

The holiday season is in full swing!

Enjoy a night out with the Celtic Tenors as they perform a wide array of holiday classics. You can also spend time together with the entire family as reindeer visit Westfield Old Orchard and the Evanston History Center welcomes visitors for a holiday open house.

Plus, if you didn’t get everything on your list this Black Friday, you can get more shopping done at a popular show in Chicago or a favorite on the North Shore.
